Our schools do big celebrations for Dr Seuss' birthday.
In honor of the day, we started ours, with Green eggs and Ham before school...
To start with the week of his birthday is turn the TV off week, so the kids are challenged to play no video games, watch no TV or movies etc.
They read his books all week long, and have an assembly with a guest speaker talking about following your dreams. Tyler's class did crossword puzzles, and word searches, coloring pages, and made a plaque of their favorite Dr Seuss Quote.
Here is Tylers favorite quote...
Today You are You,
That is truer then True,
There is no one alive
That is Youer then You
It really is a fun way for them to learn about this man, who is a legend in the childrens book world! Dr Seuss would have been 106 this year, and at the time of his death in 1991, Dr Seuss had written and illustrated 44 children's books which had been translated into more than 15 languages. (these are some of the facts that Tyler learned during the week.)
Most of us have amazing memories of Dr Seuess stories from our childhood, and I for one, am so glad that my kids will have that in common with me!
